  • However, students admitted with KAIST Scholarship will be financially independent of their homes.
    KAIST scholarship is a simple but strong funding scheme from which 94 percent of our international students benefit.
    The grants will cover the full tuition fee and guarantee minimum living expenses.
    With additional income from participating in research projects, most of our international students have achieved financial independence from their parents.
